1985 was a transition year as far as the announcing team, with three ex-NFLers doing the call: Frank Gifford, O.J. Simpson and Joe Namath. It was Simpson's last season and Namath's only season in the booth.

The Dec. 2 matchup between the Bears and Dolphins in Miami was historic. The Bears entered the game 12-0 and were threatening the 1972 Dolphins' perfect record. The Dolphins defeated the Bears 38-24 in the highest-rated Monday Night game ever: 29.6 rating, 46 percent share.

Da Bears had another memorable moment, on Oct. 21 versus Green Bay, William "The Refrigerator" Perry lined up as a fullback and scored a touchdown in Chicago's 23-7 win over Green Bay at Soldier Field.
